The Nashville event promises to unite a diverse array of artists spanning multiple generations and music genres to pay homage to the beloved “9 To 5” singer. The performance lineup showcases a blend of Country Music Hall of Fame inductees, prominent country artists, bluegrass musicians, and talents from Broadway, all gathered to commemorate Parton’s enduring influence.

Alongside the impressive lineup, viewers can look forward to surprise tributes from Dolly Parton’s friends and long-time industry connections. Dolly’s passion for inspiring future generations is reflected in her initiatives such as Dolly U and the Imagination Library, which promotes a love for reading among children and encourages them to dream big.
